It's because the MP3 codec created compressed files using fixed size
blocks of data, each block give a number of ms of music. 

So whenever a track is compressed by mp3, there's likely to be unused
space in the last data block which then creates a gap in the playback. 

Some mp3 codecs like LAME add in some meta-data and some players can
use the meta data to ignore the blank. FLAC & AAC codecs were designed
from the start to cope with gapless.
